Card Challenge 33.

It's Wednesday and time for another card Challenge! The theme for this week's challenge at Scrapbook Sisters is Distress. Now,this was so far out of my comfort zone, I did go easy with the edge of my scissors dragging them too and fro the edges of my paper a few times before hyperventilating and deciding that I'd concentrate on using inks to distress the edges of my card stock and papers instead. The gorgeous papers are from the 12x12 paper pad "Spring Feast" by First Addition. I cut the rectangular focal panel having already cut the flower petals to fall outside of the cut (hope this makes sense) I cut another flower which I shaped and stuck over the first finishing the centre with a button. All of the swirls were hand cut from the paper. The butterfly punch was the first punch I ever bought many years ago,I really must use it more often,I added long glass beads for the bodies but wasn't sure I liked them,a thin trail of stickles on top made them look much nicer I think.Come and get Distressedwith us this week,can't wait to see what you come up with.Thanks for stopping by,Julie.x

I had to hoover the floor after distressing the edges of my card with scissors, it's scary so I understand your pain!! Love your card - great colours and the butterflies and ric rac are gorgeous additions :-) Sue xx
